Montana Government Surplus Auctions

Montana's government surplus reflects its geography – heavy equipment dominates. The Montana Department of Transportation maintains one of the largest state road networks per capita in the country, generating a steady supply of graders, plows, loaders, and maintenance trucks. Malmstrom Air Force Base near Great Falls produces military surplus through DLA Disposition Services. The state's timber and mining industry means federal agencies like the Forest Service and BLM also dispose of specialized equipment. Low bidder competition in Montana consistently produces below-market winning bids.
